People on the screen


People on the screen don't exisit anymore

All that's there are explosions and products to buy

And this makes me burn.

The screen has become a bible more

or else, it's what society bases it's joys and pains on. 

And this makes me burn.

Being happy isn't as easy anymore

as it used to be. Not since we based joy on

The screen, that screams out lies and plastic bodies

And this makes a fire in my belly

To produce something more

pure and realistic on the screen 

so that future kids don't cry watching the new bible

And this makes me burn.
